Close-up of the flower made of many tiny Meatheads. I'll have to attach the pieces with some kind of pretty embroidery... Any ideas??
Blogged about here.
Araña cavernÃcola. El capullo contiene unos 200 a 300 huevos, que la hembra vigila hasta que muere, durante dos a tres meses. A finales de agosto el saco de huevos comienza a desintegrarse y las jóvenes arañitas se hacen visibles como pequeños puntos negros.
Here's Suzanne's background music. :-D
Meta Epstein is a harpist who performs a few feet away from Suzanne at the East 79th Street entrance to Central Park. Born in New York, Ms. Epstein studied in Paris and Quebec City and has performed all over North America.
This is what you get when you Google a name. :-D
She was very good. Of course I tipped her.
By the way, I have a friend whose sister is a harpist in Hawaii. I understand there's a big demand for harpists there.
At the intersection of boredom, being too lazy to load/develop a sheet of 4x5, and having a Dell Wasabi printer with a ton of Zink sheets to burn.
After hauling all the rubber duckies out for Maria to play with in the kiddie pool, she floated one in a mixing bowl. How meta. (:

We stayed at a hotel just outside New Orleans, in the suburban city of Metairie. You might think that's pronounced something like "Meh-TARE," but the Louisianans pronounce it "Meta Ree." It sounds better if you can give it a little Cajun flare.
You might think based on this little shack of a place right outside our hotel that Metairie is a lived-in place full of characters, but it's mostly just a sprawl suburb made up of mall parking lots that blend seamlessly into the New Orleans grid. It's in the middle of the swamp, though, so the grid is criss-crossed with drainage canals. The place only exists because the native people who lived in southern Louisiana before the French got here found a slightly elevated ridge left by an ancient abandoned meander of the Mississippi and used the ridge as a dry place to run a road. The French settlers built a road of their own along this ridge over top of the old Indian road, and Metairie eventually grew along side it. The big metro blob of New Orleans mostly absorbed the place in the 1900s, and toward the middle of the 20th century, this became a prime destination for people white flighting out of the city. This is the Louisiana district that elected David Duke to the state legislature in 1990.
Metairie seems to have eased up on that bit of culture since Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 and pushed a very different mix of people to flee New Orleans. Metairie is a lot more diverse now. At least that's what they say.
I went for a walk through one of the nearby neighborhoods the night before this, mostly to walk off a heavy meal, but partly just to get a feel for it. It reminded me of certain segments of Louisville, built mostly of run-down subdivisions of ranch-style homes from the 1960s and '70s, the kind of lower-middle class place where you feel like its mostly safe to wander alone at night, but you know there's an edge. There are bars on a lot of the windows, and lots of cars with primered fenders.
A Louisiana night in February feels a lot like a Kentucky night in June and a Chicago night in August. A cool kind of warm, and really humid. I kind of liked it.
